A convenient and practical method for the preparation of the acid halides of 5-acyloxypyrazoles described above consists in reacting a 5-pyrazolone containing a carboxylic or'sulfonic acid group in the 1- and/or 3-.position with an organic carboxylic acid chloride jor'bromide for sulfonic acid chloride or bromide free from acid f halide-reactive groups in an aqueous alkaline "'15' solution, isolating the resulting 5-acyloxypyrazole-Z either as the pure acid or as an alkali metal salt and converting the acid group to an acid halide group. It is generally desirable to use at least one inol of alkali, e. g.',"..alkali metal hydroxide 20,

periacid group and at least one mol of organic acidhalide, and preferablya slight excess, e. g 1.2"mols per mol of 5-pyrazolone.- From 1.0 'to 2.5 mols of alkaline compound per acid group representsa practical range. The .acylation re- 5 action is preferably carried out at temperatures from 5 C. to C. and fora length of time sufficient to permit complete utilization of'the acid halide. When the acid group is a s'u'lfonic acid, the reaction product is best isolated as the 6 potassium or sodium salt of the sulfonic acid. This is accomplished by salting out, i. e., the addition of potassium chloride or sodium chloride. When the acid group is a carboxylic acid, the

reaction; product maybe isolated by th addition 4 The invention is not limited to the use of acyl halideaasreactants. Similar reaction products, for instance, can be obtained by heatingj'one molecular equivalent of a 1-aryl-5-pyrazolone containingfasulfonic or carboxylic acid group with 1 .0 to 1.5 molecular equivalents ofaniacid anhydride, for example, acetic anhydride, at a temperature of -'70 -150 C. a This reactionjm'ay be carried out in an inert diluent, e. g., benzene,

toluene, tetrachloroethane, etc. "or in an aqueous '50 alkaline solution, e. g., dilute sodium hydroxide. "The carboxylic acid group in the 1-1 and/or 3.-position can be converted'to the acid chloride by treatmentwith aslight excess of phosphorus pentachlorid'e, phosphorus trichloride," phosjphorus oxychloride, or thionyl chloride, preferably the latter, in the absence, or presence of a diluent, such as benzene, chlorform, qetc., at,v room temperature or at the refluxtempera ture of" the diluent." To convert a sulfonic acid 0 group to the acid chloride, phosphorus pentachloride or phosphorus oxychloride, preferably a mixture of the two, can be used, and the reaction is carried out at low temperatures, preferably 0 to 30 0. to prevent splitting of the ca 5 acyloxypyrazole. The 5-acyloxypyrazole car- 'boxylic acid chlorides can be separated by filtration'from the diluent. In the case of thionyl chloride, it can be isolated by removal of the excess thionyl chloride and diluent at atmosfpheric or slightly reduced pressure and can be purified by crystallization from -an inert solvent, such as ether, benzene,- petroleum ether, chloroform; etc.- The 5-acyloxy pyrazole sulnas ful addition of the reaction mixture to ice, the acid chlorides separated and recrystallized, if desired, from an inert solvent. However,

the isolated acid chlorides are generall sufiiciently pure for use as intermediates in the formation of chemical compounds and neednot be purifiedgby crystallization for such purposes.

In place of the particular -pyrazolones containing acid radicals in the 1- and 3-positions, there may be substituted a large number of other compounds of this type. Thus, referring to the above Formula 1, acid compounds maybe used wherein R is ethylene, phenylene, methylphenylene, naphthylene, benzylene, phenylenedimethylene, diphenylene, oxydiphenylene, thiodiphenylene, sulfonyldiphenylene, cyclohexylene, cyclopentylene, pyridylene, thienylene', "and furylene.

Suitable additional specific acid reactants include:

Among the useful additional acid chlorides pbtainable by carrying out the procedures outlined above, one may obtain 11-'(2'-chloroformy1-' phenyl) -3 -'furyl-5 -pyrazol-yl benzenesulfonate, 1- (4" --chloro-su1fonaphthyl- 1"'-) c meter es-errata olyl ethyl carbonate, 1-(6'-chlorosulfonaphthyl 2') -3-pheny1-5-pyrazolyl acetate, and =1 -'('4"-chloroformylmethoxyphenyl) -3-naphthyl-5-pyrazolyl chlorobenzoate, l-phenyl-3-chloroformyl-5-pyrazolyl ethyl carbonate, 1-Q2'-ben'zthiazolyl-3- (p-chloroformylphenyl)-5-pyrazolyl benzoate, 1- (2-methoxy-5'-nitro-phenyl) -3-(p chlorofor mylphenyl) -5-pyrazolyl methyl carbonate, and 1 1(3 pyr-idyl)-3-chloroformylmethyl-5+pyra zolyl ethylcarbonate. 1

The acid chlorides can be readily converted to acid fluorides Eb'y reaction withsiiver'fluoride,

arsenic trifluoride, antimony trifluoride, or zinc difluoride. The corresponding acid bromides can be prepared by substituting for -th'e 'thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride, and phosphorus pentachloride .the corresponding bromides. Corresponding acid iodides oan be made by reaction ofthe acid-chloridewith hydrogen iodide, calcium" iodide, ormagnesium iodide. The "acid chlorides are preferred, however, because of the 'cost and availability of the reactants and their reactivity. The 5-acyloxypyrazole land 3 acid chlorides ofxth is invention {constitute useful dye intermediates. 'They couple with .thedevelopment products produced by the development of the exposed silver halide images-with the usual aromatic amino color developers, e. g., p-aminodiethylaniline, and produce 'azomethine dyes. They may .be used in colloid silver halide "layers or in alkaline photo! graphic developer solutions containing primary aromatic :amino developing agents. The lower molecular weight products tend to migrate upon extended processing such as in reversal procedunes. However, the :higher molecular weight products are quite satisfactory. They also 'couple with diazonium compounds and produce azo dyes.

Since the novel 'pyrazoles of this invention do not contain-a reactive methylene group in :the 4-.position of the pyrazole nucleus, it iszqui'te sui prising that the compounds are color formers. 'llheytmay be incorporated in .developer solutions in various known manners, for example, by dis.- solying in a wateremiscible organic solvent, e. g, acetone, and adding the solution to the aqueous developer solution. They may, if their solubility is suflicient, be added directly [to "the .bath. in some cases-the-iuse .Qf dispersing agents, such :as alkylated naphthalene sulfonates, higher aalirphatic alcohol sulfates, higher alkyl sulfonates, mineral oil sulfonates, Turkey red oil, etc., may be employed.

The color formers may be incorporated into emulsions in the conventional manner by dissolving them in a solvent which does not affect the sensitivity of the emulsion and intimately mixing the same with the colloid solution or emulsion. A small amountpf analkalimetalbaseis sometimesladvanta'geous in obtaining a 'rapidand uniform dispersion ,of the color former throughout "the emulsion. Various emulsion components maybe present without'affecting dye formations.

The compounds areremarkably free of deleterious} efiects on the photographic sensitivity and chro-' matic response characteristics of silver halide emulsions, e. g., silver chloride, silver'bromide, and silver ,chlorobromide, silver bromide iodide, etc. emulsions. They may likewise he-used in conjunction with the known sensitizing dyes which render the emulsions sensitive to certain additional wave-length regions of light. They may also be used in conjunction with emulsion desensitizers, surface modifiers, and emulsions hardening agents.

They may be used with any of the conventional color coupling developing agents as described in United .States Patent .No. 2,319,426.

flI'he novel acid .halides :are .not only useful as color :formers -in photographic processes but areusefulzasintermediates for the :formation. ofpther chemicals including high molecular Weight color formers .or .dye intermediates.

Thesedye in; termediates, which could not readily'be obtained by any other method, are useful in the production of dyjesfor color photography, filtersjtextile dyeing, and the like. In textile dyeing they are normally coupled with diazonium salts to give. azo dyes which can be used in dyeingco'tton, rayon, wool, nylon, and cellulose acetatefibersr Iri'photo'graphic uses it is normally desirable tdatta'ch the -acyloir ypyrazole radical to an immobilizing radical as is well known in the art. Such im mobilizing radicals are, for example, long-chain alkyl groups, cellulose residues, polynuclearring groups, "etc. A very convenient method 'of' immobilization is by reaction with amines,plienols, or alcohols containing an alkyl group of more than five carbon atoms.
